What i am...


so since i'm not much of a writer, i decided that most of my blog posts will be dedicated to "what i am..." reading, making, doing, learning and loving.  we'll see how this goes! (also grammar is not my strong point, so no judgies from here on out please and thanks! haha )

what i am reading...
so the bestie recommended this book before my last trip to the library and i am LOVING it!  it's sweet and real and easy to curl up with at night before falling asleep.  since finishing school, i love that i get to read for FUN again haha

what i am loving...
THE TRACK.  i'm so pumped to get to hang with the kiddos on wednesday nights this year at church.  we sing silly songs, play fun games, dress up, do skits  (well, let's be honest, i am not the one in the skits....being in skits gives me such anxiety...major flashbacks to OD skit days while working at kanakuk in college...not my finest moments in life...mmmkay.)  most importantly we learn about the life of Jesus and how we can model our life after His.  i'm excited to serve alongside this team (plus a few others) this year!  here we are sweatbands on, knees socks pulled high and posed for action.  we love the kiddos!

what i am making...
peach crumble pie.  yum-o.  if we're being honest here, and we are, i actually made this pie last week but since this blog didn't exist then, here it is now.  i got this recipe HERE from the sincerely yours paper blog.  since we're being honest here, i'll admit that i've been stalking reading this blog for a while now and i love her 'what i made monday' posts.  as soon as i saw this recipe i knew that i had to try it.  i LOVE peaches in the summertime!  a dinner with sweet friends seemed like the perfect excuse to try this recipe out since i knew they wouldn't be too harsh on my amateur baking skills.   i ate the leftovers the next morning two mornings for breakfast...whoops! 

alright, that's what i've got for now!  goodnight y'all!

here we go...

so i've loved reading others' blogs for quite some time now.  after some encouragement aka prodding from friends... here is my blog.  i'm not a writer but here is my account of what i do, what i love and who i am in this season of life.  maybe nobody except my mom will read this, maybe lots will.  either way, here it is.
